Solution Architect

Own end-to-end solution architecture across applications, data, integrations, security, and deployment. • Translate business and regulatory requirements into clear architectural designs and technical decisions. • Develop and maintain architecture documentation, including architecture vision, high-level designs, integration specifications, and architecture decision records. • Define service boundaries, API contracts, data ownership, and event-driven communication patterns. • Design integrations with external and third-party systems while maintaining clear boundaries between core platforms and external dependencies. • Establish non-functional requirements covering scalability, availability, performance, resilience, and observability. • Incorporate security and compliance requirements into solution architecture in collaboration with security and risk teams. • Lead architecture and design reviews, guide engineering leads, and ensure implementation aligns with approved designs. • Assess technologies and vendors, providing evidence-based recommendations and documenting technical trade-offs. • Identify and manage architectural risks, assumptions, dependencies, and outstanding decisions. • Support technical estimation, solution scoping, and delivery planning alongside product and delivery teams. • Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Requirements • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. • 8+ years of software engineering experience, including at least 3 years in a Solution Architect or similar architecture-focused role. • Proven experience designing large-scale, multi-service enterprise platforms. • Strong software engineering background, with the ability to review code and challenge technical designs. • Expertise in distributed systems, microservices architecture, service boundaries, API design and versioning, and event-driven architecture. • Strong experience with Java and Spring Boot, or an equivalent enterprise backend technology. • Solid understanding of data architecture, relational data modelling, persistence strategies, transactional integrity, and distributed consistency. • Knowledge of security architecture, including identity and access management, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, authorization, encryption, and secrets management. • Experience with cloud-native or containerized environments, including Kubernetes or OpenShift, and CI/CD pipelines. • Ability to produce clear architecture documentation and diagrams that support effective engineering implementation. • Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and technical decision-making skills. • Excellent written and spoken English.
